Design and build sediment traps. We have not yet (August 24, 2001) installed them because of permit problems with Maricopa County, but will soon (probably early December). Figure 5 shows a view of one of the bigger traps.

Figures

Figure 1. Illustration of fire scars in study area (including date when known), main study sites, and geography overlain on Landsat image.

Figure 2. Balloon aerial photograph with annotation depictig the burn edge along the north edge of the Dynamite fire scar. The edge is not sharp, but is transitional with a zone of semi-burned surfaces along the main interface. Based on further consideration of the fire reports, this is the Dynamite fire scar. Note the truck for scale.
